Just strolling there relaxes me. It is like another world outside the university belt. When I was a student there 22 years ago, it relaxes me just by studying my lessons under those old trees. How I wish there are schools near our vicinity like UST. My nephew is already 1 1/2 years old. This early we are already thinking of a school for him. UST is already too far because of the traffic. Mayor Atienza had developed the park in Lawton. However, you wont feel safe sitting there. There are many thieves in downtown Manila. Instead of being relaxed you will be stressed out by these things in your mind. I remembered the garden in UST! Just strolling there relaxes me. It is like another world outside the university belt.

Yes it is visually appealing etc but just like in the many villages and maybe even in luneta, parks are underutilized in our country. Unforunately Malls are our parks, not just to shop but to keep cool and be in a place where one can relax and have a meal I agree Parks are important, unfortuntely the climate in our metropolis will not allow us to enjoy and appreciate the benefits as much as say New york and the like.

And so does the Japanese Garden. Now, when I visited the same place 4 yrs ago, I asked my relatives for us to go pasyal in the same place, and they gave me a "kunot noo". Meron daw ba akong katagpoong boyfriend. The gold fish are gone, and the "green lawn" before the grandstand is also gone. I did come back at 2006, its a little much better, but nothing like how it was before. Pati na "Deweu Blvd" hindi ka na rin maka-stroll.

Never took the time out to visit Central Park yet, but I have been to marvelous Kensington Palace Gardens in London, Botanical Park in Melbourne, etc. These were my quiet retreats whenever I would secretly veer away from senseless shopping or mad chatter from colleagues. You will be even surprised that even in the city of New Delhi, there are massive open spaces for families and ordinary folks to escape and get away from the maddening crowds. I know , I hate it when I would lambast again our country for not coming up to par, pero we could do so much. Kaya naman natin..and yet sorry to say..bulok ang urban planning natin.
